1961 Gibson ES-345 “Cherry”

One of the coolest ES guitars we’ve had in a while. This early 1961 ES-345 features the earlier “Watermelon” style transparent finish with a beautiful “burled” grain pattern throughout, possibly the result of using a leftover 1960 body. This guitar has two gold “PAF” humbucking pickups with original Stereo wiring and Gibson “Varitone” circuit for variety of killer tones. The neck is a comfortable, slim profile with a Brazilian rosewood board and split parallelogram inlays and it comes in a brown Lifton hardshell case. You won’t find a cleaner, better sounding ES-345!
